I searched "Rolex Price Increase 2014" and came across the article. I do not work for Rolex and am not a AD.

I hear about a price increase every time I walk into an AD. Hey, eventually they'll be right.

The "eventually" part is the one that worries me.

That was a currency adjustment not price increase. If and when Rolex increases price then whole world affected. The good news is no AD knows when there will be one and anyone who says differently is plain wrong. Lots of threads on this already and the fact is that AD's won't know about price increases until the day before or of when Rolex sends them new price sheets and asks for old ones back.

In the Philippines, Rolex ADs have already increased prices more or less 3% on the average as of the first week of May, 2014.

I called a few ADs around Manhattan and in the US and none of them are aware of a price increase in the middle of this month. They have no knowledge of it. But it could be true because Rolex haven't increased their price in 2 years!

No, they have no knowledge because they have not been told anything by Rolex SA. They will never know until they are told.

Perfectly normal although the rumor mill keeps churning.
